Another day full of adventure! It didn't start so spectacular tough, we ate some breakfast and checked out. Went to town for free wifi and kept us updated with the world before we boarded our bus to Taupo. We arrived around 2.15pm and eventually found the way to our hostel, the description on our paper was a little bit tricky. We checked out what you could see and do here, and we decided to see the Huka falls. You could take a jet boat or a cruise up to it, bu...

What a day, think we've seen experiences of a whole week in one day. Phew, but it has been really nice! The day began with Shelly from Great Sights picking us up from the hostel around 7.45 am for a half day tour in Rotoura. The first stop was Te Puia, a Maori family business, where you could se Kiwi birds, learn about Maori traditions, see mud pools and active geisers. Really cool! Then we took off to Agrodome, a sheep farm. We got to see a sheep show with sh...

Off We went, at 6.45am! We got picked up from the hostel and then picked up lots of other people who were also tagging along. Our driver was a nice guy who liked to joke and talked a lot.

But the hight of the tour was taking a boat ride through dark caves full of glowworms! The most magical moment on our trip, it was amazin...

Today the alarm rang at 08.00 am, but hey what else is there to do if you only have one day to explore a big city? First stop was a nice cafe where we ordered some breakfast; toasted bagel with creme cheese, bacon, avocado and tomatoes. Yummy! Then we saw a nice park on the map we went to check out but it really wasn't so impressive, just a park with nothing but grass in it. But Krista enjoyed herself playing in a playground. Really funny! As a child you were re...

Today left the land down under for the land of the kiwi's, that's the bird not the fruit! Our flight left at 11.30am, and our taxi picked us up from the hostel. The taxi was $1 cheaper than the bus, success! So we shared a large hot chocolate with our profit and then got on our flight. Which was lovely, really comfy seats and movies, tv shows, music and games to keep us occupied. Time flew by and we were soon approaching Auckland! We're finally in New Zealand!!...
